The Legislative Districts of Cavite, namely the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh districts are the representations of the Province of Cavite in the Philippine House of Representatives. Cavite was a lone congressional district from 1907 to 1972, and was divided into three districts from 1987 to 2010. It was part of the representation of Region IV-A from 1978 to 1984. From 1984 to 1986 it elected 3 assemblymen at-large.

The passage of Republic Act 9727 on October 22, 2009 increased the number of the province's representatives from three to seven, starting in the 2010 elections. The 4th district is alternatively called the Lone District of the City of Dasmariñas, after the ratification of Republic Act 9723 on November 25, 2009. In addition, the second district is alternatively called as the Lone District of Bacoor City; while the third district is also called the Lone District of Imus City. The two cities' city charters were ratified last June 23 and June 30, 2012, respectively.
